Brian Dawkins sez, You can’t sit there and dwell on the piddly-poo of tears. —— WEEK ELEVEN 2009

"here is a taste of his most recent shit" i guess this doesnt sound very good huh

depends on what he ate for dinner i suppose

thanking u--this stuff looks good.

so why is maroney so bad? i guess i haven't paid much attention to him (been focusing on the awesome passing game over in NE.)

maroney dances endlessly in the backfield is his main problem imo

he's not bad--he's probably "adequate" but imo he lacks burst and vision on handoffs--he's best with a little space (like on screends) because he has good power and pretty good top-end speed. but it takes him a while to get going which is why you can't really use him in short yardage imo.

he doesn't really have much of a burst it seems like

btw is shanny really gonna go to the bills? no offense horseshoe but....

possible shanny destinations imo (unranked):

buffalo
washington
chicago
dallas
cleveland
san diego

i would rank them (from best job -> worst)

dallas
san diego
chicago
washington
buffalo
Las Vegas Locomotives
Memphis Tigers
Unemployed
Cleveland

cowboys are glammy but that would essentially be the opposite of the ownership experience he had in denver and i'm not sure he would like that.

Norv isn't going anywhere, guys.

just saying, if san diego collapses at some point maybe, just maybe...

okay, lol @ this team

Adam_Schefter Filed to ESPN: Browns QB Brady Quinn was fined $10,000 for his hit on Baltimore's Terrell Suggs.
about 1 hour ago from UberTwitter

i'd love it if he went to the chargers, just to see him coaching annual vendetta games against the raiders AND the broncos

how much would that own

just to see him coaching annual vendetta games against the raiders AND the broncos

I honestly was shocked that he didn't go to the Chiefs. Maybe he thought their talent level was too low?

i couldn't take a whole season of looking at his teeth. Although some whiteout snowstorms in Buff might solve that problem.

haha j0rdan i'm not offended; i don't think it's going to happen, either, but i am enjoying this moment of hope and possibility

tom brady discusses fashion

Pleats or flat fronts? "Flat fronts. Always. I see so many guys, really athletic guys, wearing pleats and I just shake my head. Like, Tiger Woods used to wear pleated pants! I'm like, C'mon, Tiger!"

Does the wife tell you what to wear? "I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear... I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, 'My wife told me to wear this!' And I just shake my head."

SMH

TOM BRADY ALL SMH

i have to give him props for his principled anti-pleats stance

i mean, clearly this has gone too far, but for about 95% of everything that has happened in the world in at least the past six months, my thoughts on it are pretty much SMH

Guys, I had a dream last night that Westbrook's career was over. :/

it probably is

It's super sadface for me. Westbrook + McNabb have been my heroes for years.

They are Philly football for me.

i feel u - embrace the mccoy tho, he's good

I have a hard time loving McCoy. Tho he did have an amazing TD rush two weeks ago...

he will never be able to replace westbrook as a pass catcher (ray rice is the new westbrook fyi) but he can be a really good rb & more than serviceable out of the backfield. like, philly has been dominant for pretty much the whole decade, and kolb + mccoy + jackson + maclin is arguably the best young offensive nucleus in football, which is a bit weird considering that the eagles aren't & haven't been anywhere near rebuilding

they might try and grab a shifty, westbrook type in the draft or FA for obv passing downs but if they get their run/pass ratio a bit closer to 50/50 mccoy can be a big weapon

i guess falcons, giants, cowboys & maybe packers have better young offensive nucleuses in the NFC but the eagles four are super young & are playing at a pretty high level atm

that's an... interesting assertion

my first instinct was to scoff but when i think about it idk if i can disagree

like, obv you would take romo + barber + austin + williams (?) over kolb + mccoy + jackson + maclin if mcnabb & westbrook theoretically both retired after this season, but the eagles have young players in place that could be a force in two or three years and yet they are still a playoff contender basically every season. it's pretty interesting — i mean it's all about great drafting of course, if you think about perpetually rebuilding teams like bills/browns/raiders/redskins/rams/lions etc etc it's pretty impressive what the iggs have in place

maybe i'm reaching a bit, obv kolb has played only a few games (but he's increasingly looking schaub-esque) & mccoy is still a rook but, even the vikings will have a hole at QB, ravens have no good WR, the bears need a WR, ryan grant may not be all what he was cracked up to be - philly has a solid foundation, i'm very intrigued by them

by schaub-esque i'm referring to him being a potential starter languishing behind a (still) pretty good qb

i dunno, i think he's more cassel-esque myself, ymmv

u may also be right 4ks

this is a fucking bad ass draft tho

2009 1 19(19) Eagles Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri
Pick Note from Tampa Bay through Cleveland
2009 2 21(53) Eagles LeSean McCoy RB Pittsburgh
2009 5 17(153) Eagles Cornelius Ingram TE Florida
Pick Note from N.Y. Jets
2009 5 21(157) Eagles Victor Harris CB Virginia Tech

looking at kolb tho, i would say he already is or has a chance to be better than all of these 06-08 1st-3rd round qb draftees:

vince young, leinart, kellen clemens, tarvaris jackson, jamarcus russell, brady quinn, john beck, drew stanton, trent edwards, brian brohm, chad henne, kevin o connell

sorry for (eagles) blogging btw

if you didn't get flacco or matt ryan, your QB draftee is shaky at best (henne good value & maybe edwards - kolb might be better considering draft value versus VY & certainly leinart [i guess?])

if you can't tell i'm majorly procrastinating on schoolwork by dissecting the eagles draft picks & their potential 2011 starting line up

thank u 4 card ^_^ - wkiw all this kolb

tho mccoy hasnt been very good this year i'm not really too high on him in general, but he can probably be a weapon for the eagles if they use him right

for some reason i thought kolb was unusually old but i guess i was thinkin of that mormon nigga john beck

kolb's kinda the wild card, he's definitely looked good in limited action but it's tough to evaluate him based on a couple of spot starts

the eagles o-line is a goddamn mess but there IS a ton of young talent w/upside there... in a year or two that could be a kickass unit, or could continue to be a goddamn mess

it's hard to make a great argument for a lot of other teams though - the cowboys have a ton of young skill position talent, but the o-line's on the old side and romo's almost 30 and has shown remarkably little improvement in his critical problem areas (sloppy footwork etc); packers have a great combo with rodgers & jennings but are really thin on the o-line and at running back; as far as long term building block guys the falcons really have ryan and roddy (and roddy white's older than you'd think) and then some somewhat unknown quantities in turner and norwood (persistent injury probs w/jerious, turner had been suckin ass for most of the season until the past few weeks and then blammo high ankle sprain - he's signed w/the team for a while but i have no idea what kind of player he's going to be for the next few years); the giants have a ballin' young receiving corps and are solid on the o-line, but the backs have been unexceptional this year and eli's another guy who's closing in on 30; the ravens are looking really good at o-line, rb and qb, but once todd heap and derrick mason crumble into dust ray rice will be their only weapon in the passing game

romo is kinda like a kurt warner type without the gameface and without red zone playoff skills.

i love the idea of derrick mason crumbling into dust

I just saw on the ESPN ticker that Ronnie Brown is out for the season! ;_;

and a million fantasy owners weep
